Excellent Hotel in Excellent Location, situated on the Corner of the Patch and Close to Veronica's. You have absoloutly Everything on your doorstep. Food entertainment, Beach & Shops shops shops within easy reach and all on a flat surface for those with difficulty in walking. Yet for all that amazingly it is quiet at night, security guards on nightly patrol mean you are safer than back home. The Ice Cream has got to be tasted. Probably the best recomandation i can give the bar at the front of the hotel is that many locals stopby and have a coffee, beer or ice cream each and every night. Would definatly go back to this Hotel. If anyone needs anymore info please dont hesitate to ask.

The bar in Colon 2 is in fact a very fine place.

My only worry is the " Barperson ", who is directly connected to the Mayor of London & is also a football supporter. Not sure exactly what team, but I know for certain he was in a local bar last Thursday where the match on TV involved a team from Glasgow wearing Green & White hooped shirts. Hhmmm.

I have stayed at these apartments twice since June and would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone who wants a clean, comfortable place to stay.
They will not tolerate any undue noise after 10pm. I had no problems, but my friends in the adjoining apartment did. After three nights when the people below them had been extremely noisy between midnight and 3am, they had enough, and rang reception to complain......a member of staff was knocking on the offending apartment's door within minutes.
Noise subsided immediately and a good nights sleep was had by all.
Courtesy to others was foremost at night.
The ice-cream parlour was very busy each and every night, locals as well as tourists! which said quite a bit!
The Apartments and their location were great, but hated the saltwater pool, its only downfall in my opinion! You could not stay in there long or your hands, fingers etc.,would dry out and become all wrinkled.
Out of 10 I would still give it a 10.
Looking forward to returning in October.

kevs mum and afriend stayed here in feb ! they were a little taken back at the enforcement and the deliverance of the complex's rules tho - they had a fab time and we joined them 4 a day at the pool ! the bar and the pool bar were well run and any grievances quickly sorted ! the cellar bar (xxxx robbie ) was well divided for those who wanted sport or a film or a quiet chat with friends ! having been on tenerife 4 a bit - if i was a holiday maker coming to the island it has the lot !

clean comfortable accomodation - 2 mins from restaurants and bars plus 4 the more energetic - night clubs within walking distance tho not sleeping disturbance !

a taxi rank outside your door and the beach not 3 mins of a waddle away !!

was fab !
